Ennis

Ever since my daughter moved to Portland I've been lost. After she graduated college and subsequently moved back to Dallas, she and I spent many weekends together. We took up photography at the same time, though she got a Nikon and I went with Canon. We've been on many, many photography outings together, usually with our friend, Jay. One of our more memorable trips was traveling the bluebonnet trails in Ennis, Texas. These are some candid shots of Autumn and Jay trying to capture the perfect bluebonnet shot in April, 2009. As you can see, I still had a lot to learn, but the memories of these photos are the most important thing to me.

Just like her mama. On the ground, not afraid to get dirty.

The sky is blown, but I still like the composition of this photo.

Autumn, if you're reading this, I'm not trying to lay a guilt trip. I know you're happy in Oregon and that makes me happy. But I still miss you so much!!

Hi Gail Memories are so precious and these shots are wonderful. I have 2 daughters and neither of them live in Northern Ireland where I live but we are in contact by phone and SKYPE. It is even more special when they visit or I visit them.

I understand where you're coming from. My daughter only lives an hour away, but when it has been a long time since we've been able to get together, it seems strange. We love wandering around with our cameras, too. Lovely photos! The bluebonnets are just fabulous.

Dearest Gail;Oh My!!! How great to share the hobby with your daughter; I LOVE the first picture SO much♡♡♡ I wasn't able to be blessed with a child but I got really sentimental remembering my late mother p;) BTW, mine is nikon.

The bluebonnets are amazing...one of my former students now lives on Fort Hood and she posted some photos recently. As for your daughter, she's probably not lying on the ground in Oregon right now...it's been raining cats and dogs! :-)

Oh I love that photo of your daughter! And I can just imagine the shot she got. I was in practically the same position with a similar flower this week :) Wasn't noticing the sky at all until you mentioned it; I think it's a non-issue. Best to get in out of the shot sometimes anyway.
